So many of us are un-thankful. I have learned to understand my needs versus my wants. If I had large sums of money, I could not help but spend it to help others. God Bless!
Indeed Sura Tawba verse 24 Say, [O Muḥammad], "If your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your wives, your relatives, wealth which you have obtained, commerce wherein you fear decline, and dwellings with which you are pleased are more beloved to you than Allāh and His Messenger and jihād [i.e., striving] in His cause, then wait until Allāh executes His command. And Allāh does not guide the defiantly disobedient people."
Not only for Malaysian but his advice applies to all Muslims in the world... Unfortunately you mxnyjoung people busy with Facebook, Tiktok etc forgetting to live in a real world
Yes, a huge difference between charity and philanthropy. Establishing Foundations in their name to edure for eternity. It's PR, grandstanding and posturing for attention. All tax deductible. They have Board of Directors, big salaries and expense accounts.
👍🛤️ Allahuakbar.. You have rendered a deliberate explanation about qarun. May be it's a good work too to find out about portraying a portrait or picture of a human being from the hadith sohih of Rasulullah Tabarakallah In Sha Allah.
Assalamualaikum wbt, Dr. Syed, I followed your video Dec 27, 2020 about Covid19 vaccine. Now its already 2023, can you give few words about the effectiveness or the side effects of the vaccine, based on your knowledge and opinion? Thank you.
As Salam alaykum cheikh Syed, could it be possible for you to make a video with precise examples of the betrayal of the true spirit of islam that you were talking about within the podcast with Paul Williams ? Djazaka Allahou khayran
Sir, thank you so much for the valuable information. I am one of your followers, and I have always admired your valuable information and resources on RU-vid. My question to you, Sir, don't you think valuable resources like this should be part of our teaching syllabus regardless of race and religion in schools and higher learning institutions... by doing so, we can reduce the number of karoon's in the future to make a better Muslim world... please advice
As a Malaysian who is non muslim please take the following as my personal views stemming from my personal experiences. 1. The meta of the governments approach to the Islamic faith in Malaysia is heavily tinted by political concerns of those who are in power first and foremost. Regardless whether they are in government or the opposition. Religion, just like race are still two of the easiest and most effective issues to swing votes. That is why Malaysians keep voting for politicians and parties that are openly corrupt. How did so many miss the fact these vocal defenders are the very same ones who are stealing from their own? So there in lays your answer why the authorities do not include these historical moral examples from the early Islamic kingdoms in our schools. It doesnt serve their purpose as much as pushing the narrative that power must remain in the hands of muslims or the latest reiteration of the same which is given a choice between a muslim leader who is corrupt and a non muslim leader who isnt, its better for muslims to choose the corrupt muslim leader because .......... ( there are a few reasons used to jsutify the above ). So your assumption that the authorities and leaders are concerned about anything other than power first and foremost is false. Second point is partially tied to the first, especially in the Malaysian context. You had advocated that these lessons should be thought to all Malaysians in higher learning institutions regardless of race. And you ended your opinion with for this will lead to building a better Islamic world. I have no issues with your idea, matter or fact I fully support your noble intentions. Unfortunately it is an idea that will not sell in Malaysia today especially the non muslims. Even if the idea is openly discussed, its purposes clearly defined and its implementation and presentation is done by Ghandiesque fatherly personalities. The non muslims for one might score highly in the subjects assesment modules but they will not see the core values of morality in these examples. The 3rd and 4th generation non Muslim Malaysians trust in the intentions of anything and everything the government does in the name of Islam is much lower than that of the generations before them. I am seeing the word Islamophobia increasingly being bandied out by the race and religious political defenders to describe this rejection of non muslims. It isnt. It cannot be. For if it is than the sheer number of Muslims who openly reject what the authorities state their intentions are when it comes to Islam are also Islamophobic. The non muslims will intepret efforts to impart moral values selectively using historical examples only from Islamic civilisations to Malaysians as compulsory modules in institutions or higher learning as the just another move to assert the religious supremacists agenda on non muslims. For if the intentions are to build a more morally upstanding citizenry, why are there no examples from non muslim civilisations whom all have Kings, Generals and Sages who had acted in noble ways to uphold values such as justice, kindness and honesty too? You yourself in proposing an idea with good intentions for everyone couldnt avoid but polarise your proposal with the statement " building a better muslim/islamic nation ". Cant blame them. Just like you, they are the product of the same system. The only difference is which herd were one born into. The one inside the fence or outside of that fence. Both are so fixated by the fence, where it is and how big is it etc that they do not realise they are being herded.
